The President of the United States, Barrack Obama made an appearance on ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! Thursday, where, he read on camera, some of the “Mean Tweets” he has gotten from Twitter users. The ‘Mean Tweets’ segment of the Jimmy Kimmel Live Show typically features several people reading some of the not-so-nice tweets people send to them. But this time around, the President read those really mean tweets all by himself!
“Online, people who already don’t like the President are criticizing him for coming here. President Bush would get the same thing when he did TV shows. It’s the nature of the job, I guess, especially now when we have Twitter,” Jimmy Kimmel said to the audience.
“I think it’s important to remember that presidents are people, too, and from time to time we give celebrities the chance to read some of the mean things people tweet about them. Tonight, we extended that same courtesy to our commander-in-chief.”
President Obama opened the segment by reading a tweet from @carold501:
“Obama’s hair is looking grayer these days. Can’t imagine why since he doesn’t seem to be one bit worried about all that’s going on.”
He also read another tweet from @RWSurferGirl:
“Is there any way we could fly Obama to some gold course halfway around the world and just leave him there.” And Obama’s response to @RWSurferGirl was:
“Well, @RWSurferGirl, I think that’s a great idea.”
